according to ____________, it would be ok to steal a loaf of bread to feed a starving child.

• consequentialism
• deontology
• morality
• ethical decision making

Explanation:

Consequentialism evaluates actions based on their outcomes. Stealing bread to feed a starving child has a positive overall consequence (saving a child's life) that outweighs the harm of theft, which aligns with this framework. Deontology focuses on duty and rules, so stealing would be wrong regardless of context. Morality is a broad term, not a specific ethical framework here. Ethical Decision Making is a general process, not the specific theory justifying this action.

Answer:

A. Consequentialism
